Jake, Oy and Father Callahan follow her, recover the sphere Black Thirteen and hide it in a locker under the World Trade Center. Roland and Eddie land in 1977 Maine, escape an ambush by Balazar's men and buy the rose lot from Calvin Tower. Then they visit a writer named Stephen King and learn he is the channel for their story. The book ends with Jake and Callahan ready to storm the Dixie Pig while Mia gives birth.
